“For all you do & in memory of your team mates, this meal is on us.”

The University of Iowa AirCare team, basically a medivac service, lost three members in a helicopter accident on January 2.

After the memorial for those who died, a number of coworkers decided to have lunch at a local Applebee’s in Mason City, Iowa. When the launch when over, instead of a bill, they received the following note written on a napkin:

Today, the AirCare team attended the memorial service for the Mercy Air Med team in Mason City. Afterwards, all 13 of us had dinner at a restaurant and when we went to pay the bill…an anonymous person had already paid our entire bill and left. They left this note…how amazingly thoughtful.

We are in the battle of our lives

We must fight back, and we CAN win this. But it will take hard work and time. I am already making preparations for a wide-ranging campaign to fight Trump's Cabinet appointees and supreme court nominations. As part of that effort, when my lease is up in NYC, I will be moving back to Washington, DC, to take the fight directly to Donald Trump.
